i used to think that fallout boy - sugar we're going down which goes "dont mind me im watching you two from the closet wishing to be the friction in your jeans, isnt it messed up how im just dieing to be him?"said "tell mummy im watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans, is it the next stop? oh im just dieing to be here!" i only realised the truth wen my workmate told me after i sang it while serving on tills in front of about 5 customers!

i also took a lot of convincing that will smith sang switch! i had no other suggestion of who it was, but it wasnt will smith

and it took me ages to understand that madonna in "like a prayer" and kelis in "milkshake" were using lots of imagery and not speaking literally! wasnt helped by the fact that kelis' video is in a milkshake place!

Up until recently I was convinced that Micheal Jackson's "Don't stop till you get enough" went something like "Don't stop till you get to the bus stop". It was only when I was corrected a few weeks ago in the car by a friend that I realized my mistake. I'm now 25

When I was about 12 the movie Flashdance came out and I bought the tape and memorized the entire thing. One day in the car my favorite song came on to shich the real words are "take my passion and make it happen" in reference to the dancer in the movie. My dad was listening to my version rather than the one on the radio that goes " take my pants down and make it happen." Now that I have kids and they say something cute he reminds me of this moment.

You know that corny Winne the Pooh song that came out with the animated series in the late 80's? I think everyone has.

There's a line in there that goes...

"Wherever we go. Oh, won't you take me please...Pooh Bear, I gotta be there... it's me and it's you, a silly old Winnie the Pooh..."

Little me heard: "Wherever we go, no oh you tapey please... Pooh Bear I got a bee there... it's me and a shoe, a silly old Winnie the Pooh..."

All through the series, I had yet to see a happy, talking shoe and was confused why they mentioned him if they were never going to show him.

There's also a line in there that goes
"He's round and he's fuzzy, I love him because he's just... Pooh Bear...(ect.)

I heard: He's brown and he's fuzzy, I love em' because he's just..."

I got mad when I heard that line because Pooh Bear looked 100% orange to me. I thought the adults were just trying to test our color skills. I was seriously thinking about writing a letter to stop lying to us about Pooh Bear's color. When that didn't work, I just figured it was something wrong with my TV.

Ah... good times... good times...

I use to believe in green days song, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams I thought "My shadow's the only one that walks beside me" was autally "My shadow's the only one that talks about me."
Funny.. I'd be sad if my shadow talked about me.

My best friends used to believe that the word's from the band AQUA's song tunr back time went 'i would order steak for tonight' when they really sang 'i would stay for tonight.' She woundered for quiet a while why when they were turning back time why they would want to eat steak until one day when we were singing it to the radio and she heard me say the real words.

You know that song by Whodini?
That infamous chorus, "The freaks come out at night?"

Being little when it came out, I didn't really understand anything BUT that line. Except I heard "The freaks come out at nine", AKA 9:00 on the dot.

I got freaky visions of hundreds upon hundreds of Hellraiser-like creatures coming out of the misty fog down my Dead-End street, lurking around my house at 9:00 (sharp) in hopes of peeling my flesh off.
And God forbid, I'd play my radio at 9:00 with THAT song playing (Which that station played quite often when it first came out.)

So when my mum said I had to be in bed at 9:00, I didn't complain... she was just trying to protect me. She's the reason I'm still here! I wuv my mommy...

Come to find out, I'm not the only person to mishear this lyric, so now I don't feel that stupid.

Yo' girl's a freak;)

I used to think that the London Bridge song went "London's britches falling down" I always felt really bad for people named London who happened to be shopping or something whenever people sang that song.

My friend and I were listening to her iPod the other day and Savage Garden's "The Animal Song" came on. We got into the conversation about what we used to think the lyrics were. The actual lyrics are "I want to live, like animals". My friend used to think that it was "I want to live, like cannibals" and I used to think it was "I want to live, like cannonballs".

The Hush SOund, Lions Roar:
"Don't look a damn" (Delicate dame)
"Into a know" (Into unknown)
THe Hush Sound- We Intertwined
"I was locked up never preached" (I was locked up never free)

Yea... :-S

I'm a die hard Radiohead fan, and for YEARS I thought that the song "Go to Sleep" went like this:

Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something WEIRD is gonna happen
Over my dead body

Someone SAW someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body

I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me

We don't wanna monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down

I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me


REAL LYRICS:
Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body

Someone's son or someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I end up getting sucked in
Over my dead body

I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash all over me

We don't wanna wake monster taking over
Tiptoe round tie him down
We don't want the loonies taking over
Tiptoe round tie them down

May pretty horses
Come to you
As you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me

Oops...:-X

Up until recently I thought the words to the Slade song that goes ' We'll go wild wild wild' were ' we'll go waah waah waah.

Until recently, I was pretty firmly convinced that The Police were singing "...I'll send an S.O.S. to a squirrel". My husband recently informed me otherwise, after I belted out the song at the top of my lungs while in the car with our friends.

When I was a child, we used to sing "Row, Row, Row your boat" all the time. I used to think the last line was "Life is butter beans" instead of "Life is but a dream".

I swear to this day the the Hot Hot Heat song, Running Out Of Time, has potty lyrics.
He really says "I'm galloping off to meet my bride to be." I SWEAR he says "I can't open up to me my butt to pee". LISTEN TO IT!!!!

Open your butt
